An important part of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the Florida Bankruptcy Means Test. In order to file for Chapter 7, you must pass the Florida means test. It only applies to higher income filers, meaning if your income is below the Florida median  you are exempt from the test and may file for Chapter 7.

If your income is higher than the Florida median, you must take the means test. The means test is used to determine if you can pay back a portion of your unsecured debts through Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

If your debts are not primarily consumer debts then you are exempt from the means test. You are also exempt from the means test if you are a disabled veteran and incurred your debt primarily during active duty or performing a homeland defense activity.

The Florida Median Income:

1 Member Household – $41,334.00
2 Member Household – $51,839.00
3 Member Household – $53,952.00
4 Member Household – $63,196.00
5 Member Household – $71,296.00
6 Member Household – $79,396.00
